[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#45: Horoscopes and Psychics – Accurate predictions, harmless fun or hocus pocus?

Episode Summary

Why didn’t horoscopes or psychics predict the pandemic?

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss the popularity of horoscopes and rising demand for readings from psychics and tarot card readers during 2020, and ask whether the predictions are ever accurate, if they’re based on pseudoscience or if they’re simply a bit of harmless fun. Guest starring Nushy Rose and Tariyé Peterside.
